Fantasy Life General Thread

[windfall]

How good is the game to you? I've been debating with myself whether I should get Fantasy Life, Bravely Default, or Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright

Depends what you like (or what you prefer more). They're all pretty different from each other.
Have you tried the demo for Bravely Default? It'll give you a sense of the combat system, although it throws you into the situation without really explaining anything (the main game is more clear). I haven't played Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright but based on a few things I've read, it's a good mix of both series.

Right now I'd probably recommend Fantasy Life over BDFF but that's because there's not much to do in BDFF after you beat the game. The main story took me like 60-70h to complete though @_@ Fantasy Life has loads of stuff to do, and you'll benefit from getting it now since everyone's still excited over having it (and so people will want to play online and such). Just look at how active this thread is

BDFF was released in February and the hype has definitely died down.

i've been finishing off the trees with X but it still doesn't drop for me. I also threw some stat points into luck but same thing.

>_<

also how long do i have to wait for the great trees to respawn?

I think great trees respawning is random, so you just gotta exit and enter the area again.

Dunno why the trees aren't dropping for you. Make sure you're doing enough damage? I dunno :c

Try using an accessory to raise your luck. Also, finishing off a tree with an X attack increases the number of resources and rare items.

i'm lvl 15 and it's an fledgling quest for woodcutters... not sure why it isn't dropping either
I do 3-6 dmg with regular attacks and 12-16 with X.

I already level 5 with my woodcutting skill, it's getting really annoying ahahah

I was planning to go GameStop tomorrow to get Fire Emblem Awakening, but after watching the trailer I might just get this instead. It looks a lot more simple, but I've never been of a fan of serious games anyway.

What kind of tree are you trying to cut? If the tree won't come down, just leave it and move on with the story xD You'll take it down eventually!

i'm cutting the great oak tree and reg oak trees in elderwood to get the elderwood log, i'm trying to lvl my gathering life so i can gather the wood in the newer areas cause right now i'm doing 0 dmg to the trees there.

aren't fledling quest supposed to be easy? I checked gamefaqs and other FL boards and a lot of people are having trouble with this quest. I'll try adding more points into Luck to see if that helps since people say the rare drops are random so maybe RNG just hates me.

Have you considered increasing your woodcutting skills, getting better axes (especially those made from anyone with a Blacksmith job) and raising your strength, vitality, dexterity stats as you level-up? These will help make "Excellent" rating appear more often, therefore spawning more items than a tree normally would. If you can take down a tree fast enough, then getting its HP bar almost empty and then finishing your blow with a stronger attack seems to be more prone on giving me "Excellent" rating.

I don't wanna disburse my stats into str, dex, or vitality for now since i dont want to be a weak magician, i was thinking about leveling those stats once my intell, focus are at max. Anyways, i added 4 points into luck, and i spammed X onto the tree instead of weakening it with reg attacks and was able to get an elder oak log. I can FINALLLY level my woodcutting class now. Jeesus.


Thanks alot guys for the help/tips!
I hope this helps anyone in the future who may encounter the same problem

On a roll tonight. Got to level 23, got the DLC, onto chapter 7 of the story line and killed the Gale Wraith, Blaze Wraith, and that dino that blocks the icy path. I also killed a spooky Icy guy but I killed the bounty before hand >.<
Also, didn't know you could carry multi bounties at once.

You can carry up to three bounties, but if you kill another monster that gives you a bounty, the first of the three you already had will disappear.

The story didn't do much for me, but to just finish the story and think you have finished the game is totally wrong, the story is just a prelude and the game opens up once it is out of the way. I am guessing your friend didn't bother too much with the fact you have 12 lives to level up to God status and completing The Ancient Tower trials.

However everyone is different, but having read this thread from it's induction, it would seem your friend is in a very tiny minority who dislike it.

I haven't, never said I've finished the game. I've only finished the story :u
I played the game 12 hours a day for 3 days during my small holiday so I'm really just tired of it. I liked the gameplay but by the end I started loathing everything but Hunter so I think I need to take a rest before I god-tier the other lives or even try to mess with it.

Seriously screw the story though. It made me so fricking annoyed.
